   Episode 3 - What's Your Legacy? Podcast - Michael Keen

   Welcome to What’s Your Legacy, where we dive into legacies that change lives and the stories behind them. Today, I’m thrilled to sit down with Michael Keen. Keen is a writer and hospice social worker based in Seattle. Born in Germany, he spent his early years in Japan and Panama before his family settled in Puyallup, Washington. His academic journey took him across the country, earning the following degrees: a BA from the University of California Berkeley, a MSW from Columbia University, a MFA from Syracuse University, and a PhD from the University of Louisiana. He is the author of Notes from the Trauma Party, a deeply personal and critically regarded work published by a New York City press. His writing explores themes of resilience, identity, and the complexities of the human experience. Beyond his literary and academic achievements, Keen considers his sobriety his greatest accomplishment. These days, he calls Seattle home, where he works as a hospice social worker, helping people navigate life’s toughest moments. He shares his space with his dog, Desmond, who is very sweet but, unfortunately, not very bright. Join us as we uncover what drives him, the values he hopes to leave behind, and maybe a few surprises along the way!

   Episode 2 - What's Your Legacy? Podcast - Jose "Neaners" Garcia

   Welcome to What’s Your Legacy, where we dive into legacies that change lives and the stories behind them. Today, I’m thrilled to sit down with Jose “Neaners” Garcia. Neaners is the Founder and Executive Director of Hope for Homies, a healing center in Everett dedicated to empowering youth and adults through cultural reconnection, emotional regulation, and mentorship. Raised as a migrant worker, he faced significant hardships, including language barriers, an abusive home, and early involvement in gang life, which led to a 45-year prison sentence at just 14. While incarcerated, he earned his GED and envisioned a future rooted in healing and transformation. Since his release in 2014, he has dedicated his life to social work, launching programs like “Coffee for Homies” at Tierra Nueva and developing successful youth initiatives in schools. Now leading a LEAD (Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion) Model for adults, he also runs a for-profit business while mentoring future leaders. A devoted father and advocate, Neaners believes challenges are opportunities for growth, using his lived experience to guide others toward healing and self-discovery. His mission is to build a lasting legacy of hope and resilience in marginalized communities. Join us as we uncover what drives him, the values he hopes to leave behind, and maybe a few surprises along the way!

Each episode, we sit down with inspiring guests from diverse fields—scientists, artists, activists, and more—who share the values, experiences, and wisdom they hope to leave behind. Today, I’m thrilled to sit down with Dr. Jennifer Adair—a visionary working to make advanced healthcare accessible for all. Beyond her incredible science, Jen is creating a legacy of compassion, determination, and a world where cutting-edge treatment reaches everyone who needs it. At 19, she had her first child while in college, balancing academics and parenting with the help of welfare programs. Inspired by her mother’s perseverance in finishing her own degree, she completed her studies, often bringing her kids to class. She later had two more children (one adopted) and established a gene therapy workshop for youth. In 2022, she climbed to Everest base camp in honor of her father and to raise funds for cancer research. She has also contributed to conservation efforts in Uganda, given a TED talk on her 40th birthday, holds four patents, and launched her own company in 2020.
